Hallmark Brings Back I Love Lucy...Again and Dumps Martha; ION Television Quietly Removes The Guard
I Love Lucy will start with the episode "The Girls Want to Go to a Nightclub" on Wednesday morning at 9am. And in more good I Love Lucy news, the previously scheduled marathon that we announced has now been extended! The marathon will still run this coming Sunday (May 2), but now from 6am-4am instead...yes 22 straight hours! Previously it was slated for 9am-4am. Good news indeed! But hopefully the weekday morning block lasts a while! Stay with us if anything changes...
ION Television has quietly removed The Guard from its Saturday night line-up. They have aired an extra movie the last 2 weeks (April 17 and 24) from 9-11pm. Effective this Saturday (May 1), ION will add two more airings of Ghost Whisperer on Saturdays airing from 9-11pm. Ghost Whisperer will also still air Saturdays at 11pm, which we announced almost two weeks ago.
Ratings for this Canadian import drama were not too good and ION only aired the first 10 episodes. The series has a total of 22 episodes. No word on if and when it will return, but it doesn't look good. Stay with us for any further updates.
